The Bethesda Blog announces that The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is now gold, with the completion of the RPG sequel coming just in time for its planned release a week from today. Word is:

It’s done!!!

We’re pleased to announce that after more than three years of hard work, the team at Bethesda Game Studios has completed over 20 versions of Skyrim — across multiple platforms, languages, and countries. That’s right, Skyrim is officially gold!

The team celebrated last night with sweet golden mead brewed by Kurt Kuhlmann, Ryan Jenkins, and Shane Liesegang.

Have mixed feelings on this game. The PC vids seemed really nice, but the game reminds me so much of Oblivion which I didn't really enjoy. Watchin the leaked 20 min XBox video too was a bit dissapointing. The engine isn't that impressive, but still, best to wait and play it. I am sure I will lose 20-40 hours in it, and like all Elder Scrolls games, walk away from it cold.
